Rare melanistic King Penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus), Fontana Bay, South Georgia
Melanistic King Penguins are very unlikely to breed and pass on this trait to their offspring as it is the orange patch on the side of the face that is thought to attract a mate: melanistic penguins will be unable to do so.
